New England forward Ilija Stolica's first MLS goal handed the New England Revolution a 1-0 victory over the Houston Dynamo at Gillette Stadium on Saturday night.
Stolica provided a rare moment of class in a frantic match by thumping home a first-time volley with his right foot in the 62nd minute, extending New England's unbeaten streak to eight matches in all competitions. Houston pressed forward in the late stages in an attempt to secure a point, but the Dynamo fell to their third loss in four matches and 10th consecutive winless match in league play.
New England coach Steve Nicol gave Stolica his full debut as one of two changes to the side that drew 1-1 in Philadelphia last Saturday. Stolica partnered the returning Marko Perovic up front as Kenny Mansally and Zack Schilawski settled for a place on the bench. With Kevin Alston sidelined for a second consecutive week with a left hamstring strain, the Revs altered their back line with Cory Gibbs stationed at left back, Darrius Barnes and Emmanuel Osei once again patrolling central defense, and Chris Tierney filling Alston's vacancy on the right.
Geoff Cameron started for the first time since April 24 after making two substitute appearances last week upon his return from a ruptured right PCL. He revived his partnership with Bobby Boswell in central defense as Eddie Robinson dropped to the bench. Andrew Hainault switched to left back to replace the suspended Mike Chabala, while Richard Mulrooney replaced Hainault on the right. Lovel Palmer and Anthony Obodai earn the start in central midfield with Brad Davis (left quad strain) ruled out, while Brian Mullan replaced Joseph Ngwenya up front.
Neither side conjured up much in the way of chances in a ragged and rushed first half. Houston forward Brian Ching squandered the best opportunity of the half in the 23rd minute after Corey Ashe swung in a free kick from the right flank. Ashe's ball from the right located Ching's run toward goal, but the former U.S. national team striker pushed his free header wide from 12 yards.
The opening period of the second half continued along the same lines before Stolica grabbed the opener from nothing. Sainey Nyassi launched a wayward volley from the right wing to seemingly halt the move. Stolica stopped the low drive dead with his left foot at the top of the Dynamo penalty area and lashed it home on his next touch to mark his full debut with his first MLS goal.
Smith should have doubled the New England lead and sealed the points with a quarter of an hour to play. New England mounted their best attacking move of the night with Perovic and Stolica prominently involved before Shalrie Joseph played Smith into space on the left side of the penalty area. The Bermudan international attempted to finish first-time, but his side-footed effort flew over the bar from close range.
Houston attempted to locate the equalizer by committing numbers into the attack as the match drew to a close, but the Dynamo could not engineer the chance required to snatch a draw and avoid a second consecutive defeat.

Two of my fellow presenters on UKCountryRadio.com are responsible for my love of country music - Graham L.Hall and Bob Preedy. It was while filing away records at a hospital radio station where Graham was presenting that I stumbled across the music, he encouraged me to tune in to Bob's BBC show, and I was hooked.
After nearly 15 years of working for various commercial and BBC radio stations, I decided to launch my own - UKCountryRadio.com, with the aim of playing UK artists alongside the big names from America and, in the process, providing a much-needed outlet for talented British artists.
As well as running the station, I am on air every day. My weekday evening show gets underway at 5pm with The Vault - an hour of songs we don't get to play too often as they are all minor hits and album tracks. I love The Vault, as you really do get to hear some gems.
Then after 6pm, we're into the country music news of the day from both sides of the Atlantic. I also take a look into the history books with "This Day In Country Music History", and test your country music knowledge with my "Never Ending Country Music Quiz". And each week, I feature a newly-released album with a track each day across the week.
There's no rest at the weekends - join me at 10am Saturdays and 6pm Sundays for the American Hot Country Countdown with all the big hits from the US country charts. Click here to see the latest chart.
I was proud to received the CMA's International Broadcast Award in January 2011. The CMA said they gave it to me for "oustanding services to country music". I have a very nice trophy - and a nice picture for CMA boss Steve Moore (right).

Following Baptist 'Neighbors,' Georgia Catholic Parish Plans to Make a Movie
'Five Blocks Away' is church's entry into filmmaking venture.
KENNESAW, Ga. — St. Catherine of Siena, one of the Archdiocese of Atlanta's largest parishes, wants to be the first Catholic church in the United States to create an independent motion picture.
Following the example of Protestant churches that have come together to produce films such as Courageous and The Grace Card, St. Catherine is working on a film called Five Blocks Away. The project is being spearheaded by filmmaker Kevis Antonio, founder of Rising Faith Productions and a St. Catherine's parishioner.
"Last year when I went to a prescreening of Courageous, I asked myself, Why don't Catholics make films?" said Antonio, who is serving as writer, director and producer. "It's great that we support films that we can take our families to, but if one Baptist church is able to fill a gap that isn't being provided by Hollywood, why is the Catholic Church so behind? We have the biggest network in the world."
Antonio described the film as a story of a young adult who achieves his dream of starting a successful business only to have a life-changing event force him to look at himself and his talents in a completely different light.
Antonio's most recent work, a documentary titled Bread of Life, was one of the entries in the Pope John Paul II International Film Festival.
Executive producer Dorothy Polchinski explained how the project got its start among a group of young Catholics who met through young-adult ministry. "Through our conversations, we talked about the need to bring the Gospel to young adults through the media," explained Polchinski. "It was through those conversations that the seed was planted."
"Our vibrant community is always on the lookout for projects that get the entire community excited and involved," said Father John Matejek, pastor of St. Catherine's. "St. Catherine's support of this film gives volunteers from the parish the opportunity to experience evangelization to its maximum."
But some wonder whether the film will be preachy.
Polchinski doesn't think so.
"This film won't come across as preaching," said Polchinski. "It witnesses to a greater truth and respects the dignity of the person. The beauty of this film is that it will meet people wherever they are at on their journey."
"Some films, such as those done by evangelicals, are more confessional. They fire up the base," said Paulist Father Eric Andrews, president of Paulist Productions. "Others, such as a film like Gran Torino, are commercially successful and share a Christian message to a more general audience. The challenge is: How do you reach the saved, the seeker and the skeptic all in one?"
Catholic Involvement in Film
"Catholic sponsorship of films goes back to the earliest days of silent film," said Steven Greydanus, film critic for the Register and DecentFilms.com. "As far back as 1897, the French Catholic publisher Maison de la Bonne Presse was producing Catholic films."
Unfortunately, most of these early efforts weren't very successful, said Greydanus.
He noted that, in 1926, Fox Films partnered with the Archdiocese of Chicago to produce a very successful documentary film on the 28th International Eucharistic Congress. "Two Catholic laymen who were instrumental in that documentary went on to have a major impact on Hollywood that lasted for decades," Greydanus said. "Martin Quigley, who brokered the deal between the archdiocese and Fox, went on to co-author the 1930 Production Code with Father Daniel Lord, SJ, outlining moral principles for film production. And Joseph I. Breen, who publicized the film, enforced the code from 1934 to 1954 as head of the Production Code Administration."
In more recent times, Paulist Pictures, founded by Father Ellwood (Bud) Kaiser produced the 1989 film Romero. The 1996 film The Spitfire Grill was funded largely by the Walls, Miss.-based Sacred Heart League, Inc. The movie won the "Audience Award" at the Sundance Film Festival, and the film's rights were purchased by Castle Rock Entertainment for $10 million, at that time the largest sum paid for an independent feature film.
Catholic entities have recently supported particular films with financial contributions, having priests on the set or providing promotional support: The Legionaries of Christ supported the film Bella, Opus Dei supported There Be Dragons, and the Knights of Columbus supported For Greater Glory. The Daughters of St. Paul are currently trying to raise money to produce a film on Father James Alberione, founder of the order.
"With the success of other Georgia-based Christian films such as Fireproof and Courageous, there is no better time than now for Catholics to join in the momentum of producing faith-enriching films for the mass audience," said St. Catherine of Siena parish's Kevis Antonio.
"The Church has a role to play in film production," said Father Andrews. "We have a marvelous story to tell. Stories that are inspirational give hope and offer glimpses of what redemption looks like. We have a great deal of experience to offer, and putting those on film, however one wants to do that, is a worthy effort that is part of our baptismal call as missionaries."
Can a Catholic parish produce a film? Father Andrews certainly thinks so.
"Fifty years ago, Father Bud Kaiser and parishioners at St. Paul the Apostle Catholic Church in Los Angeles started a production company in the garage," said Father Andrews. "Parishioners such as Bob Newhart, June Lockhart, Patty Duke, Jane Wyman and others created Paulist Picture's Insights program, which aired on TV for 23 years. If a parish has the creative juices and the talent, it makes sense."
Next Steps
The parish's approach is an unconventional way to go about filmmaking, where typically an agented story is purchased by a production company. Antonio spoke to parishioners after each of the Masses on March 25 to inform them about the film and to seek partners on the project.
Antonio said that the film is in the "awareness and fundraising stage." The team behind the film is currently attempting to raise $550,000 to produce the film. Approximately $7,000 has been raised to date. While they support the effort, neither the parish nor the archdiocese is funding the project directly.
The parish staff, however, did read the movie script, and parishioners are assisting the effort with their time, talent and financial donations.
"The intention is to make the film in Atlanta, as it touches on Atlanta geography and corporations," explained executive producer Richard Martin. "It's a Christian version of Tyler Perry's stuff." Perry is an Atlanta-based inspirational filmmaker.
While the movie is being made through a Catholic parish, the filmmakers hope that it will be supported widely outside the "choir."
"It's a Christian project with a basic Christian message," said Martin. "It's already spreading by word of mouth through non-Catholic family members, pastors and organizations."
"My role as a layperson is to bring the Gospel to all the world — through social media and in movie theaters — to meet people where they are at," said Polchinski.
As important as the filmmakers feel the project is, they highlight another goal of the project in determining its success.
"This isn't just a project from one church," said Antonio. "I'd rather have 500,000 people donate $1 each than simply one large investor. This is a project that will be made possible from many Catholics overall."
Polchinski echoed that hope.
"As news about the film is traveling, I'm seeing more and more people who are stepping forward to be a part of it," said Polchinski. "That's what is so beautiful: seeing the body of Christ come together."
Auditions are being held at the parish this month. If the team is able to raise the money, Antonio hopes to begin a five-week production schedule in mid-September.
If the film succeeds in making a profit, Father Matejek has a couple of ideas for how to use the proceeds.
"We'd like to bring our school's gym up-to-date," said the pastor. "Perhaps it could also be used to help another Catholic parish produce a film."

Picture this: It's the first event of the Olympics. Just as the medal ceremony begins, the gold medalist backs away from the podium, shaking her head. The local news correspondent catches up with the athlete to see what's up with her bizarre exit. Her response: "Taxes! If I take home a medal, I'll get taxed on it!"1
Can you imagine? Years of blood, sweat, and tears go into making it to the Olympics—let alone the podium. It's ludicrous to think that someone would turn down a gold medal simply because of taxes.
But the story still serves a purpose. In my work as a financial advisor, I frequently meet with investors who'll actively try to avoid realizing capital gains so they don't have to pay taxes.
You're investing your money so it can grow, right? Well, think of capital gains as a "medal" for your investing. Many investors turn down that medal because they overestimate the tax liability and the benefit of avoiding that tax liability. And since long-term investors usually realize capital gains when it's time to rebalance their portfolios, they may also significantly underestimate the risk of not rebalancing.
Don't sabotage your strategy
If you choose not to act on your portfolio because you don't want to pay taxes, you risk sabotaging a sound—and consistent—investment strategy. I see 2 dangers here:
- Taking on too much risk. Let's assume a hypothetical investor had a 60% stock, 40% taxable bond portfolio at the beginning of 2005. The 2006 market returns had him walking on air, and he didn't want to pay taxes on capital gains after rebalancing. Then, life got busy and the global financial crisis hit. He couldn't bring himself to look at the damage, but he didn't sell out either. That doesn't necessarily mean mistakes weren't made. Because he didn't rebalance after 2006, his portfolio edged closer to 70% stocks just before the bear market calamity. His portfolio would have experienced a cumulative loss of 31.18% between 12/31/2007 and 03/31/2009, which is 4.59 percentage points higher than a 60/40 split.2 But the bad news doesn't stop there. Without rebalancing during the bear market, his portfolio likely fell to below 50% stocks by March 2009. Thus, his portfolio can't recover as quickly as stocks began to rebound. According to our research, that mistake would have cost the investor several percentage points of return.3
- Developing a concentrated portfolio. If you don't rebalance your portfolio, it could become more skewed toward individual high-performing investments. In this case, your portfolio is more subject to increases in volatility and possible underperformance if that investment falls out of favor. We recently published a great research paper on concentrated equity positions that I recommend to all my clients in this scenario to help them come up with an action plan.4
Change of mindset
I also hear justifications for ignoring rebalancing from investors. Some consider rebalancing a nuisance. Others want to stay with their stock allocation because they think the stock market will continue rising. But we believe rebalancing is part of a sound investment strategy. I often remind clients that "staying the course" (another tenet of our investment philosophy) isn't only a passive phrase used to prevent you from selling out when things look ugly. Staying the course means staying dedicated to the habits that'll help you reach your goal.
Ultimately, minimizing risk is the aim of rebalancing. You may still capture meaningful returns while being consistent with a target asset allocation and rebalancing strategy. In fact, there's evidence to support that there's little economical value in avoiding a capital gain. According to Michael Kitces on his Nerd's Eye View blog, for an investment with a 20% to 30% gain, the annual "value" of avoiding that capital gain is close to a single day's worth of volatility in the stock market.5
Vanguard has researched a variety of rebalancing strategies. While there may not be a clear optimal strategy, we believe having a strategy is better than not having one. Most rebalancing strategies rely on one trigger that's based either on timing or a specific shift in asset allocation.
In Vanguard Personal Advisor Services®, we use a "time-and-threshold" blend for our rebalancing strategy. We review the portfolio quarterly and rebalance if its asset allocation has deviated by 5 percentage points or more. Blending these triggers results in a more complex strategy, but it has merit. If we use this strategy on a 60% stock, 40% bond portfolio, the average portfolio turnover would be about 1.95%2 and average Sharpe ratio about 0.51. This shows that rebalancing can help you mitigate your risk while spreading out rebalancing events over time.
Just do it
That's why we recommend rebalancing—even if it means paying taxes on capital gains. You've worked hard to invest your money and see it grow. Claim your prize!
In a future blog post, I'll address some of the more complex investment management techniques that you can use to help reduce your tax liabilities.
1Until exemptions enacted through H.R. 5946 in October 2016, all Olympic and Paralympic medalists were taxed on the value of the Olympic medal as well as the earnings they received from the U.S. Olympic Committee for winning. This exception does not apply if an Olympic medalist has an adjusted gross income in excess of $1 million.
2When determining which index to use and for what period, we selected the index that we deemed to be a fair representation of the characteristics of the referenced market, given the information currently available.
For U.S. stock market returns, we use the S&P 90 Index from 1926 through March 3, 1957; the S&P 500 Index from March 4, 1957, through 1974; the Dow Jones U.S. Total Stock Market Index (formerly known as the Dow Jones Wilshire 5000 Index) from 1975 through April 22, 2005; the MSCI US Broad Market Index from April 23, 2005, through June 2, 2013; and the CRSP US Total Market Index thereafter.
For U.S. bond market returns, we use the S&P High Grade Corporate Index from 1926 through 1968; the Citigroup High Grade Index from 1969 through 1972; the Lehman Brothers U.S. Long Credit AA Index from 1973 through 1975; the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index from 1976 through 2009; and the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Float Adjusted Index thereafter.
For U.S. short-term reserves, we use the Ibbotson U.S. 30-Day Treasury Bill Index from 1926 through 1977 and the FTSE 3-Month U.S. Treasury Bill Index thereafter.

Mask: MI5s Penetration of the Communist Party of GB by Nigel West
December 19, 2012
LeftCentral Book Review
This book examines MI5`s 1930s infiltration of the Communist Party of Great Britain (CPGB) codenamed operation MASK, which involved the interception of radio communications between members of the CPGB and the Comintern in Moscow then headed by Georgi Dmitrov. Nigel West describes the role played by a range of personalities including Olga Gray codenamed M-12. Gray was recruited by British intelligence in 1931 and she had strong CPGB ties given that she was employed as a secretary to John Strachey. She was later identified as Miss X during the trial of Percy Glading, the CPGB national organiser who MI5 directed Gray to "cultivate". As Nigel West informs us Glading and Douglas Springhall were imprisoned later as spies. Although Sringhall`s professionalism is doubted by West because he "had not been indoctrinated into the principles of Konspiratsia." West provides individual chapter`s dealing with Springhall and Bob Stewart – BOB is described as the "Party`s spymaster".
The book is dominated by two sets of primary sources, the MASK communication traffic pages 41 to 199, and the appendix pages 245 – 313. The appendix concerns an in-depth interview with General Krivitsky (aka Samuel Ginsberg) who visited Britain in 1940 the most compelling part of an absorbing book. West argues that the MASK material proves that the Comintern was an extension of Soviet foreign policy, promoting espionage while encouraging members of the CPGB to "take direction from a potential adversary and conspire to undermine Parliamentary democracy." West informs us that several Labour MPs were "implicated" and are named. Read more of this post

Solution to server download limits for new Puppies?
Subject description: A NEW idea for torrenting Puppy distros
I know torrenting has been proposed before but this is a variation and will require 5 scripts. This is a simple (to the user) way of helping distribute Puppy without having to understand anything, or having to remember to do anything at the next or subsequent boot.
Script 1. At install time you are asked the following question. "Would you like to help Puppy Linux by distributing Puppy Linux to others using a Torrent" (Please someone rephrase this so it is clear they have nothing to do other than press the yes button. Perhaps a simple explanation and a link to a full explanation?)
If yes then at the end of the install the ISO is copied to the HDD,
and then verified
and a variable added to the boot script.
If no then Puppy boots as normal.
Script 2. On boot if the variable is there then a script is checked for (In local.rc0 ??? where user files for booting are loaded) and if not there this script is added. This script will automatically start up the torrrent client with the installed ISO as the target
The script could also display something to the effect of "Thank you for helping Puppy Linux expand" or perhaps a small Icon showing that Puppy is being torrented so people can see they are helping.
Script 3. temporarily (Until next boot) I.E. Either close the torrent client
A way of permanently switching off this feature, I.E. close the client and remove the start up variable and script.
Script 4 A way of reversing script 3 in case later on people decide they would like to help again.
Script 5 A script to get via torrent the latest version of Puppy and install it.
If these scripts were added to the basic Puppy then it would be available to all derivatives and could significantly lower the load on servers and increase availability of all Puppy variants.
Any thoughts appreciated.

I suspect there'd be a problem in that Puppy doesn't automagically set up networking; that would have to come first. Also people might feel hassled that they have to deal with this issue of torrenting the ISO just to try out a LiveCD. Fewer clicks, the better.
On this subject of distributing puppies, there's a sticky thread in the Announcements forum where I just posted some info on a cacheing service called CoBlitz: I think this could be a solution to the problem that requires no action on Barry's or puppy users' part.
Hosting for Large Files - Page 3
I think with a combination of a couple of orginating mirrors (like puppylinux.ca and tuxfamily.org) and CoBlitz, the problem would be solved.
PS I'm not against torrenting Puppy; I'm seeding now a torrent I created for NOP 301 rev 1

Hi Klu9, thanks for comments. I'm glad you mentioned about autoconnect to internet as I think this is something Puppy is overdue for.
The proposal wasn't for people running live CD's but for those installing, I suppose I always install and forgot that others might still use CD's on a daily basis to boot to Puppy. (I wonder what percentage do?)
I think you idea re CoBlitz, is interesting but with torrents the more people who download the more nodes it becomes available from and I'm not sure if that's the case with the system you are proposing?
Also I have had troubles over a couple of years with mirrors, coming and going and being maintained. With a self replicating Puppy as long as there were a couple of trackers still active then all versions of puppy that people are currently using would be available (If they keep their client open)
Perhaps it could be integrated into Puppy at a later stage so that anyone who has created a Puppy can publish it just via the torrent system from a simple script?
From an environmental viewpoint torrents also make sense in that they reduce the amount dedicated hosting that goes on around the world and hence save energy.
This is an extract from a recent EPA report.
"America's server consumed about 61 billion kilowatt-hours of juice in 2006, about 1.5 percent of total electricity consumption in the country and representing about $4.5 billion in costs. Servers ate about as much electricity as all of the color televisions in the country, and about the same amount of power as 5.8 million typical households. This is about twice the amount of electricity that servers and data centers consumed in 2000."

at install time
doh! my bad, I glossed over that bit or confused "install" with "boot".
another vote from me for that
Vanishing Mirrors
I agree "auto-torrenting" (would that be the name for your invention?) could overcome the issue of mirrors coming and going, especially if "trackerless" torrenting works out; then you wouldn't even need a tracker staying up.
vanishing mirrors is less a problem for official Puppy files, because they get onto 'everlasting' sites like nluug & ibiblio. It would be nice if puplets could be got onto those sites too and then this issue would be moot.
Number of Nodes: BT vs. CoBlitz
A definite plus of BT is that the more downloaders there are, the more uploaders there are; I don't know if that happens with CoBlitz/CoDeeN nodes. But I suspect it doesn't really matter: the CoBlitz nodes aren't simple home users or cash-strapped volunteers but universities with
pipes (and
connections between each other too).
But I haven't tried it yet... what the hell, here goes...
[klu9 starts downloading FireHydrant puplet via CoBlitz]
If I hose ttuuxxx's server may I burn in hell, but I might just get to try out FireHydrant
find a (semi-)solution to the hosting issue.
Will report back on my progress using coblitz. BTW I think CoBlitz speed improves after 1 or 2 completed CoBlitzed downloads have happened; that way the CoBlitz nodes will have requested the file, received it and be ready to serve it.
Energy Efficiency
I hadn't thought about that. Servers have to be reliable and up 100% of the time, so I suspect BT has an advantage here.

Hi klu9, I might try Firehydrant down load as well but at the moment I have an intermittent connection (Another reason that I was interested in BT rather than straight downloads (I have tried with download managers but even they seem to fail me and I get odd sized ISOs after hours of downloading.)
Thanks for reminding me about "trackerless" torrent I have not tried that yet and had forgotten about the idea.
This idea could also work for .sfs and other addons.
I think even places like Ibiblio have problems. I found out about as I use PClinux and Puppy.
By torrenting we have total control over distribution and ensuring Puppy users and well supplied.
I appreciate your input to this idea.

mean not being at the mercy of hosts. That ibiblio story's a bit of an eye-opener.
Firehydrant, Download manager & metalinks
there is a command-line *nix downloader that can download a file via many protocols (http, ftp, BitTorrent): Aria2.
It's even available as a dot pet:
aria2-0.11.4: file downloading utility
If you use it with a metalink, it will have corruption checking, multi-sourcing and resumption (in case of interruption), just like with BitTorrent.
Unfortunately, I can't attach a metalink here. If you want you could copy & paste the text below into a text editor, then just save it as a .metalink file. Then use it in aria2.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<metalink version="3.0"

When I finish downloading FH, I might post a torrent of it but I warn you: my ISP throttles BitTorrent.

Hi, I will have a further look into this in a day or so. Currently fighting with an Intel D201GLY2 . So far only PCLinux and Windows will work with it.

Cool idea. Very busy, just skimmed, so I apologize in advance, and for my non-refined post too. For auto-start, put it in /etc/init.d. As long as it's executable bit is set, it will be launched with
<name> start
each boot. When you reboot, will be called as
<name> stop
, so be aware so it doesn't accidentally start a second instance when shutting down. To disable it, just remove the executable bit. Easy to write a toggle script:
#toggles the executable status of /etc/init.x/conky_auto
if [ -f /etc/init.x/conky_auto ]; then
if [ -x /etc/init.x/conky_auto ]; then
chmod 644 /etc/init.x/conky_auto
chmod 755 /etc/init.x/conky_auto
EXCEPT: That script is using init.x, which DOESN'T EXIST in Puppy. That's a custom addition I made on my own system, which mimics init.d, except it's in .xinitrc, so that it runs after X starts and can do X applications (like conky). So to use this, just change it from init.x to init.d, and change the "conky_auto" to the appropriate script's name.
Then just add a .desktop entry for that toggle script to provide a menu entry. Now user can toggle it easily. Maybe add a dialog box asking to confirm, and which would let them know whether they're enabling or disabling it.
I don't know if whatever torrent program you use will have issues if there's no network connection. Probably should have it ping google or something as a test, and if the network isn't up, drop out rather than continue through the script and trying to run the torrent.
It could run a daemon that sleeps for three seconds or so, then checks again, and keeps doing that until there
a connection, so that it could cover people who start the connection by hand each time.
Okay, bed time for bonzo. G'night

Hi Pizzasgood, many thanks for your input, that makes it sound do-able even by a newbie like myself (With probably just 50-100 posts on the Puppy forum
I just downloaded SUSE 10.3 (To see if it will sort the D201GLY2 problem with video tearing and found another potential problem.
Automounting of the source drive.
Still I'm sure there will stuff on the forum somewhere...

You mean the drive with the puppy iso on it?
Assuming it's on /dev/hda1, the pup_save.2fs file is NOT on /dev/hda1, and /mnt/hda1 already exists:
mount /dev/hda1 /mnt/hda1
That can be added to /etc/rc.d/rc.local. Technically, you should be able to edit /etc/fstab instead, which is the standard Linux method for automounting things, but I don't know whether that's working in Puppy (when I tried it recently in a heavily tweaked version it wasn't working, but I might have broken it).
If the pup_save.2fs file is on the same partition as the puppy iso, then that partition is already mounted (/mnt/home is the preferred method to get there, even though it's actually a symlink to the true mount point).
The catch would be knowing where it is. The path could be stored somewhere though, and just load it:
#at this point, we determined the path (stored in $THE_PATH), and need to save it like this:
echo "$THE_PATH" > /etc/path_to_iso
#This is in the program that runs each boot. It loads the path from /etc/path_to_iso:
THE_PATH=`cat /etc/path_to_iso`

Hi Pizzasgood, I replied to you post the other day but I think the Forum gremlins ate it!
I've never got auto mount to work on any Linux distro, it's a real pain.
Why can't they just be loaded, perhaps goes back to server days and security?
Perhaps also there could be a search facility (using the excellent Pfind) with the torrent controller offering other things like .pups, etc (Getting ahead of myself now.)
I'm surprised there isn't more interest in this idea as it is my experiences that slow downloads, dead links, failed downloads are a common thing. Perhaps I have had more trouble than most?

I think this could be a great idea.
does anyone else do it? I haven't seen it.
as long as people are given the chance to decline (the default should be No), and people are made aware that they're sharing their bandwidth. could be really cool!

Hi twanj I was thinking. A start, stop permanently and a pause for this session. and if possible a throttle. Perhaps a little box in the notification area telling people how much they had contributed and also to show it was running.
Server farms use huge amount of power (now account for 1.2 percent of total U.S. electric consumption) so by using our machines to serve which are already on we can do something to reduce that.

Just found this thread - it's so clearly A Really Good Idea that I'm surprised it hasn't been publicised and widely adopted.
How far has it got, and can I try it out?
With the move of the main Puppy sites from Servage to Hostgator there was a suggestion that Servage be retained just as the primary source for downloads. If all the d/l files (.ISO, .PET and .PUP) were loaded as Torrents, and these scripts put into standard Puppy then we can all benefit. And then if sites like distrowatch could point to a torrent source as well as http and ftp it just gets better and better.
This is particularly important right now as puppylinux.org is currently off-line because of server overload caused by 1000's of Dingo downloads. BT wouldn't have eliminated that problem but could have reduced it.
BTW; the latest version of MU's Muppy has automatic internet connection (wired certainly - not sure about wireless, and I've only tried the 'mini' version) activated so it is possible.

Just to dispel any misconception. There are no isos or any other significant sized files at the new address. The intention is to avoid big files at that site to avoid downloads eating up the maximum transfer or bandwidth.
The problem is cpu usage, Tom wasn't expecting the site to go live yet and the site was still configured for development not large scale access.

The EUREGIO-organization
Within the EUREGIO 129 Dutch and German municipalities, towns, and administrative districts work together across the border. They have been assigned the task to create and develop better relations at all levels and in all spheres of life between citizens and authorities. EUREGIO has spent more than 50 years building and reinforcing cross-border structures. Economically, socially and otherwise, in an organization with a unique network constitution.
All participating municipalities, towns, and administrative districts are represented in the Association's Assembly. the member municipalities also send representatives into a cross-border regional parliament called the EUREGIO Council.
Meeting of the EUREGIO Council
The EUREGIO Council consists of 41 Dutch and 41 German representatives. The EUREGIO Board forms the executive committee of the organization. The daily work is coordinated and implemented by the EUREGIO office located at the Dutch-German border crossing Glanerbrug-Gronau where around 50 German and Dutch employees cooperate. Representatives from all kind of social groups, organizations and institutions work together in various EUREGIO Working Committees to cross-border ideas and projects.

If you ask Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie's decision to undergo a preventive double mastectomy was nothing less than "heroic."
Speaking for the first time since the Oscar winner went public about her surgery Tuesday, Pitt said he's 100 percent supportive of his partner taking steps to reduce her risk of cancer, which runs in Jolie's family.
"Having witnessed this decision firsthand, I find Angie's choice, as well as so many others like her, absolutely heroic," he told London's Evening Standard. "I thank our medical team for their care and focus."
Pitt added: "All I want…is for her to have a long and healthy life, with myself and our children. This is a happy day for our family."
In a New York Times op-ed, Jolie wrote that she carries the "faulty" gene BRCA1 and had an 87 percent risk of developing breast cancer and a 50 percent risk of getting ovarian cancer in her lifetime.
Given that her mother, Marcheline Bertrand, died of ovarian cancer in 2007 at age 56, the 37-year-old actress chose to be "proactive" and "minimize the risk" so she could be there in the future for the couple's six children.
Jolie subsequently underwent three operations between February and April that saw tissue from both breasts removed. However she was able to keep the nipple, thanks to what she described was a painful procedure called a "nipple delay" followed by reconstruction with implants.
Now that it's over, the thesp revealed that her risk of getting breast cancer has since dropped to under 5 percent, so having a mastectomy was a decision she was happy to make.
"I can tell my children that they don't need to fear they will lose me to breast cancer," she wrote.
Jolie added that she's lucky to have a partner in Pitt, whom she called "loving and supportive" and was there for her "every minute of the surgeries."
"We knew this was the right thing to do for our family and that it would bring us closer. And it has," she said.

Red's radish bars are stolen, and she becomes paranoid, questioning everyone about the disappearance. Eventually, she even comes to suspect her best friend, Mokey.
Meanwhile, Doc trains Sprocket to be a better watch dog when he sees some suspicious people in the neighborhood near The Captain's Inn.
Fraggle Facts
- Disputes in Fraggle Rock can be settled by the Venerable and Eminent Council of Sages, which is made up of the first three Fraggles who show up at the Council chamber when the Council is called.

It should be obvious by now. The government has absolutely no intention of ever decreasing spending, reducing the deficit, and eliminating the national debt. It plans to borrow more money. It wants to turn your children and grand children into impoverished debt slaves.
Obama's budget "deal" speech: 43 minutes of doublespeak, lies, and feel-good propaganda.
On the heels of an onslaught of propaganda claiming establishment Republicans and Democrats are working together to slash the budget and reducing spending comes an estimate by the Congressional Budget Office. It notes that a bill due for a vote in the House today will cut federal outlays by a paltry $352 million through September 30, or by less than one percent. About $8 billion in cuts to domestic programs and foreign aid will be offset by an increase in so-called defense spending.
In fact, as the Washington Post notes, when the cost of occupying Iraq and Afghanistan, attacking Pakistan on the side and bombing Libya and other war on (manufactured) terror ventures are factored in, the budget increases by $3.3 billion.
Boehner and Obama have presided over a budget increase, not a decrease as they claim.
Congress critters in the House, meanwhile, could not help but pat themselves on the back. "With this bill we not only are arresting that growth but we are reducing actual discretionary spending by a record amount, nearly $40 billion in actual cuts in spending that has not ever been accomplished by this body in its history, in the history of the country," said House Appropriations Committee Chairman Harold Rogers, a Kentucky Republican. "The cuts in this bill exceed anything ever passed by the House."
A d v e r t i s e m e n t
"The president said he would freeze spending. Our Speaker negotiated, outnumbered 3-1," he added, referring to Boehner's negotiations alone in the oval office with Obama, Biden and Senate Majority Leader Reid. "We have cut spending."
No, they have once again increased spending. The government may cut Pell grants and school lunch programs, but they will never cut the Pentagon off from the public largess trough. Not so long as America is tapped to extend the globalist empire and attack recalcitrant Muslims who reject the predatory behavior of IMF loan sharks and the international bankster criminal class.
Obama, Boehner, and the Republican-Democrat party have pulled a fast one on the people. The Tea Party inspired change in the House is as phony as the change Obama said he would bring to government. Establishment Republicans sold out the Tea Party and are now engaged in doublespeak about a debt that will render our children homeless on the continent their forefathers conquered. Both Republicans and Democrats work for the bankers and elections are largely irrelevant, as the former speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi said the other day.
Ron Paul talks with CIA-CNN operative Anderson Cooper about the budget shell game.
For the international bankers, the U.S. national debt is a plan made in heaven. It was designed as a method for confiscating the wealth of Americans through interest payments paid by the hoodwinked masses on a fractional reserve bank debt which the government assumed as sovereign debt. It is expropriation, pure and simple, based on funny money cooked up by the Federal Reserve out of thin air.
The political whore class supported by the banksters will not fix the problem. A few days ago a top contender for the 2012 fixed race for teleprompter reader in chief, Mitt Romney, said he won't waste his time going after the Federal Reserve. "I'm not going to spend my time going after Ben Bernanke. I'm not going to spend my time focusing on the Federal Reserve," he told Larry Kudlow on CNBC. "I think Ben Bernanke is a student of monetary policy; he's doing as good a job as he thinks he can do."
Indeed, Bernanke and the Fed are doing the best job they can to enslave you and your children.
Stock up with Fresh Food that lasts with eFoodsDirect (Ad)
Mitt Romney, if elected, will continue the process of turning the once great United States into a bankrupt and indebted third world backwater.
So will a re-elected Obama or Sarah Palin or any other manufactured personality hyped by the elite and its political class.
The only viable candidate for real change is Ron Paul. If he decides to run, as now appears to be the case, let's hope he stays healthy between now and 2012.

Alien abductions make for a good sci-fi plot devices, but it's easy to forget that we walk among people — in the real world — who claim to have been visited, beamed up and probed by little gray men.
New York photographer Steven Hirsch, 63, has met many of these people face to face. He visited this year's International UFO Conference to meet, photograph and interview people who avow close contact with extraterrestrials.
"I don't want my audience to have any preconceptions about these people before they see my images and read their words," says Hirsch of his Little Sticky Legs project. "My interviews barely break the surface of what is going on in their lives ... or in their minds."
Hirsch, who has freelanced for the New York Post for 18 years, makes a habit of shooting fringe members of society and gleaning their thoughts. Past subjects have included those leaving the Manhattan Criminal Court Building and Crustypunks in the parks of NYC.
For his profile photos and interviews, the fast-talking New Yorker actually shuts up and listens.
"I'm not an analyst, my questions are not intended to find answers but to allow people to tell us their stories. Courthouse Confessions, Crustypunks and Little Sticky Legs are all about storytelling. Their stories, not mine," says Hirsch. "We've become desensitized to the TV sound bite. With these projects we can stare at the picture. Stare into their eyes. Feel their angst. It's a very simple approach. There's no distractions."
Reports of alien abduction are a relatively new phenomena, with regular accounts emerging only in the 1960s. Estimates on the number of abductions vary wildly, from millions (unlikely) to thousands (more likely). It's safe to say there are hundreds of reported cases in any given year.
Due to a lack of any substantial physical evidence, abduction testimony is widely dismissed. In The Abduction Experience: A Critical Evaluation of Theory and Evidence (.pdf), the late Dr. Stuart Appelle, Professor of Psychology at SUNY Brockport and specialist in perception, wrote, "no theory yet enjoys enough empirical support to be accepted as a general explanation for the abduction experience." Appelle listed psychopathologies, sleep abnormalities, and personality traits such as a proneness to fantasy and suggestibility among potential reasons for the persistence of abduction narratives. Hypnosis treatments, intended to bring details of suppressed memories of abduction back to the surface, also come under criticism for actually implanting false memories in patients instead.
Encounter tales are not told only by people in the margins of society. Kirsan Ilyumzhinov, former leader of the Russian republic of Kalmykia claims he was visited by a UFO on his balcony in 1997. Last month, Simon Parkes, a British town councilor, told the press his mother was a nine-foot alien.
Hirsch, who has also trained his lens on the homes of sex offenders living on Long Island, is not looking to sugarcoat our world.
"I don't like people to feel comfortable. My whole life has been edgy. I live in the East Village. [In years gone by] there were drug dealing stores downstairs," he says.
As a kid, Hirsch didn't know the names of Weegee or any street photographers, but his worldview was likely shaped by their images.
"I'm a hardcore New Yorker. I grew up in Brooklyn. I grew up with the tabloids," he says. "You'd go down to the corner store at 9 p.m. and that's when the Daily News and the Daily Mirror were on the stands with the day's news. Murders, robberies, fires; papers full of graphic images of mayhem."
Coming full circle, it was through photographing for the popular news himself, that Hirsch first started thinking about alien abductees.
"Many years ago I photographed a UFO convention in Connecticut while on assignment for one of the supermarket tabloids," says Hirsch. "The experience was mind-boggling and stuck with me for decades." This year, he was finally able to get out to Arizona and follow through on his own project.
Much of American UFO lore is based in the southwestern states of Arizona and New Mexico, and Hirsch has traveled many times through desert towns full of unique characters. For him, the distance between New York City and way out west is measured in more than just miles; it's measured in attitude and psyche.
"The Southwest landscape effects the way people think. It's trippy out there," he says. "In New York you have no sense of the universe, but in the Southwest you can't avoid the sky; you get a sense of scale of — and an intimacy with — the universe."

"I've met Salamander beings and I've met various different types of Greys. I've also met the Blue Arcturians which are incredible. They all have their own personalities and their own purposes. I've met Andromedans, the Assyrian Warriors of Light. I've met the Sirius Nephrons. I've also met the Cat People that are from Sirius. I've actually seen people that can shape shift from human looking to Reptilians. [...] Part of my mission is to help people get to the ships that need to be on the ships. […] Many of the Starseeds that are here on Earth on special missions are taken to the ships where they are then informed of the changes in the strategies. I've never yet ever met a being that was malevolent. I've always meet the benevolent ones. I'd never experienced unconditional love till I've met them face to face and had conscious contact with them."
"It happened eleven years ago in St. Louis, Missouri at an exotic dancing bar. I went in there to just have a few drinks and look at some strip-girls dance around the pole. And this guy comes in out of nowhere and he was black in color but he had a very strange voice. And he knew things about me that no-one in the bar knew. Like how many trips I took. He knew things I was doing. He knew when my parents were going to die and what they were going to die of. Then he tells me he's here to abduct me and replace forty nine chips [in my body]."
"Dr. Lewinsky one of those Grey hybrids was going to do the operation. And they were going to take me aboard a flying saucer. […] I was swept up for like three hours and they did exactly what they said they were going to do to me and then took me back to the bar and woke me up and I lost three hours in time."
"It looked like a little kid except it had big eyes, it looked just like a little kid except it had big eyes, small nose and a little mouth. Albert EInstein was right about something. How there's different dimensions and different realities and stuff. I'm thinking they went through time if you will you know. If they're out there if they know all this and they have all this technology and all this stuff, what are the odds of them coming back you know?"
"They didn't probe me, they didn't do nothing. They just opened up my eyes. It was kinda crazy because before that I just asked for something like that to happen just for proof and I just got it you know? It was there. It happened. I was a little bit scared at the moment. It was something crazy.
How did it leave? Just like that it disappeared. You think what you want but that's what happened to me."
"My consciousness was in the middle of this huge dome like structure. The inside of the structure was white and then there were coves in it that were big enough for people to sit in meditation and they were sitting cross legged. Some of them wore white robes. Some of them had long hair. They were all humanoid."
"There were some I couldn't quite tell what they were. But I got the feeling they were a type of human. The atmosphere in this place was absolutely beautiful. It was golden light and the background was white, like it was whitewashed and it was a place of meditating on peace and love."
"They said they had been coming to me ever since I was a child and they were not doing anything against my will and I used to be one of them and I had agreed to be this bridge between the pleiades. They had been teaching me things that I was supposed to bring through and teach to others here on Earth and I hadn't been doing a very good job of it. So they were giving me a review of what they'd taught me. They were telling me things about cleaning up the environment, being nicer to each other and having more brotherly love. And also the big thing that was important to them was getting rid of nuclear power plants. They said it was contaminating the earth. And it also had the potential for harming them too."
"This being handed me a small baby. I looked up to him and he handed me a second one that shouldn't have been there. I woke up screaming and so angry. Came back with bruising that shouldn't have been there. I had a hole in the back of my head that under black light glowed with a triangle around it. I like to tell myself that they were dreams but somewhere inside myself I know it was more than that."
"I awakened in the middle of the night with feeling this weird heat down around my sexual area […] I could feel these long skinny bony fingers drawing circles on my right ovary and I felt the paralysis and I thought, 'Oh shoot. they really are here. Oh, my God.' I'm not sure how I saw them. If it was, you know, tuning in and seeing them on what level. So when I'm realizing they're with me the energy feels different. It was totally unnerving to me to recognize that they really were visiting with me and I could see there was a smaller Grey on my right hand side and a slightly taller one on my left and I remember telepathing to the Grey, 'Please stop doing that, I don't want you to touch me.' I asked him three times."
"It didn't stop so I'm not sure if it was my astral arm that came out and I reached over and I grasped his long skinny bony fingers with my left hand and said, "I asked you not to touch me, please do not touch me." And then I noticed the Greys on each side of my bed looked at each other and I thought, 'Ah shoot, they're gonna knock me out with that white light again.'"
"It was an auditorium and with stadium seating. There was a podium down at the bottom and he led me to a seat. All around me were some humans here and there but there was a lot of all different types of alien beings."
"Next thing I'm leaving, bringing me down the aisle again. I'm telling them, 'I want to stay, I don't want to go.' I start crying. I say, 'I like it here, I belong.' And they said, 'No it's not your time. You have to help save this planet Earth.' That's all I remember."
"We were taken to an underground base near the Sedona area. […] There was this little teardrop, kind of looked sort of like a pendulum upside down. What they wanted me to do was move it with telekinesis through this hoop - literally jump through this hoop - and I couldn't do it so the mantis helped me do it."
"Then they did this blue flashing thing and then they said 'Now, you try it,' and I was able to move it through the hoop. I was told at that time they were upgrading my pineal gland for intuition, so I have more physic ability."
"It started rocking back and forth and Travis stands up. A blueish green light comes out and zaps him. He flys back about twenty feet where it zapped him I said, 'It got him.' When I said, "It got him" Mike takes off and leaves him. We were going down the highway. We stopped down the road. [...]"
"The light that came out and zapped him was blueish green. I didn't see nobody. We stopped down the road a little bit to talk about what happened. And we back to look for him and couldn't find him. So we went into town. Kenny Peterson called the cops and the cops came out there and we told them the story. He didn't believe us. He thought we were drunk or something."
"I did not know what had happened all I knew is something had happened. And about a month later out of nowhere I experienced what I later called a data dump or a download of information into my mind which I also couldn't explain. I believe I have implants. Up my nose. Because I've had nose bleeds since a particular date in time. Every time I get one of those I feel as if I've been upgraded. And I become a little more clairvoyant and aware of whats going on around me."
"November 5, 1975, me and six other men were leaving work in a remote forest and we encountered an unidentified flying object and I was taken aboard. My co-workers were accused of murdering me and making up a story to cover up for why I was missing. The state police gave them a lie detector test, but even though they passed ever since then it's been one sort of attempt to explain it away anyway they could. If you're going to pass judgement on it, get the facts first. When I regained consciousness on board, I encountered some definitely non-human entities and also some beings that resembled humans to a high degree. It was a very traumatic experience."
"I would see them come through a wall or through a door and I would just mentally say 'Do what you have to do as long as you don't hurt me,' and I'd pass out. Then about four years ago I just got tired of it. I said, 'Look you guys you shouldn't be doing that.' because I felt like they're down in areas they shouldn't be in you know. Down around the genitals and stuff. They said, 'We have the right.' I don't know what they meant by that but. Then I said to the one that was working on me which was a taller one with the big head and big face which he always puts it right up against my face. All I could see was his big black eyes. And I said, 'But why are you doing all this all the time?' And he said, 'You will know when it's time.' And that was the only message I got. From then on, they stopped coming. I'm disappointed; I liked them coming. I was hoping to learn something. But they never talked to me or anything except to give me a message if I asked something. And the message was basically, shut up."
"The messages from the Zetas are basically that they're helping us in our evolutionary process. All of these events that are happening - that people are experiencing - such as abductions are to help us evolve. Help us evolve as a species into more luminous beings, lighter beings."
"Our actual DNA is being shifted so our physical bodies are actually becoming lighter in frequency and they're helping us to do this. And to activate abilities that we have inherently but that have been basically been shut off. Not activated. So we have this extra DNA that we're not using."

Inspired by an idea from Bruce Lee and created and executive produced by Jonathan Tropper (creator of CINEMAX's "Banshee"), WARRIOR is a gritty, action-packed crime drama set during the brutal Tong Wars of San Francisco's Chinatown in the second half of the 19th century. The series follows Ah Sahm, a martial arts prodigy who immigrates from China to San Francisco under mysterious circumstances, and becomes a hatchet man for one of Chinatown's most powerful tongs - a Chinese organised crime family.

Hi all I am doing a degree course and want some advice and a few pointers (this is for an assignment so I dont want it done for me but some advice or pointers would be good thanks in advance the brief is below
A11 Cars currently keep a record of their taxis, drivers and bookings on paper. As a move towards computerising their system they have commissioned you to produce some prototype software for evaluation and possible future development. It should be able to cope with three taxis in the first instance (Taxi1, Taxi2, Taxi3).
Design, code, test and document a program that will do the following
• Record whether the taxi is currently in use or not (Destination e.g. 'Birmingham' or 'None')
• Record whether the taxi is serviceable or not (Yes/No)
• Record / Change the driver's name (if no driver available use 'None')
************************************************** ************
An example menu is below
Welcome to A11 Cars
1. Change taxi booking state
2. Change taxi serviceability
3. Enter/change taxi driver's name
4. List all taxi details (Taxi number, Driver, Serviceability, Availability)
5. Exit
• The program must be coded using the BlueJ Java system, be well laid out and commented.
• Extra marks may be awarded for additional functionality and expandability if all the basic requirements are met.

Steel Columns & Beams
Services we Offer
It's obvious we provide structural columns and beams. We also design, fabricate, erect and install joists, supports, decks, embeds, louvers and more. As custom fabricators we make and install machine parts, steel curtain wall frames, and interesting shaped plates and supports. We service all types of large commercial projects, and work with new buildings as well as reinforcing existing ones. Go ahead and browse our extensive range of structural steel services .
Our Services
Structural Steel Beams in Clewiston FL
Girders & Girder Supports
With a name like Steel Beams & Columns, you can expect that we know a fair bit about structural steel fabrication! Straight, pitched, curved, and rolled, at SBC, we're mad about steel beams! This admiration may seem strange, but it's our secret to fabricating Structural Steel Beams in Clewiston FL and columns in Florida that satisfy the highest professional standards. From steel plate girders to web openings, our team uses decades of collective experience to expertly design and install the correct structural steel beam and column solutions. When you have the wrong beams, you run the risk of increased substructure costs, less floor space, and increased steel erection times.
It's important to know that columns and beams work together as your building's skeleton, and any oversight during their construction could result in major structural concerns. In order to ensure a completely sound building design, our steel engineers work closely with you to assess your building's potential stress and structural concerns. We then decide if your structure needs more strength, rigidity, flexibility… or simply more steel columns! Whether you're adding on extra stories, replacing cracked concrete, or moving heavy chattels to higher levels, talk to us first about how to maximize the integrity and lifespan of your new or existing building. We work hard to fabricate Structural Steel Beams in Clewiston FL that satisfy the highest industry standards, and we go above and beyond to service our clients' exact specifications.
While we customize every service to meet the needs of each unique project, our commitment to quality construction and full-spectrum customer service remains the same. Each project is a collaborative process—we place the utmost emphasis on internal and external communication throughout every phase.

Pet obesity is a huge problem that keeps getting bigger. According to a 2009 Pet Obesity Study performed by the Association for Pet Obesity Prevention, 45 percent of dogs and 58 percent of cats in the United States are overweight or obese. That's an estimated 35 million dogs and 54 million cats.
Carrying excess weight can cause many problems for pets, for example, Osteoarthritis, insulin resistance and Type 2 Diabetes, high blood pressure, heart and respiratory disease, cranial cruciate ligament injuries, kidney disease and even cancer. These are not only dangerous health problems, but expensive veterinary bills, too.
To help whittle our pets' waists, Purina Veterinary Diets® launched Project: Pet Slim Down™. The online program helps pet owners track their pets' progress, get information on pet obesity and tips on weight loss, offers places to share success stories and celebrate them with friends and family.
A healthy weight can mean a healthier, happier life and a better defense against the weight-related diseases with the hefty veterinary bills. Talking to your veterinarian about your pet's health is the first step to slimming down. Although therapeutic diets aren't covered, PurinaCare® plus Preventive Care covers many of the expenses needed to keep your pets' weight in check, like annual exams and routine lab tests.
A fit feline and a conditioned canine will not only be more comfortable healthy, but they will be ready (and eager!) for more walks, climbs, fetches and frolics.

I know that most of the ladies on this board will disagree, but I think you are safe in starting MFWK next fall. They all have great reasons and will chime in later - so I'll just let them share their side. Since they tend to have more experience and wisdom than I do, they are definitely worth listening to. :-)prov31sandra wrote:I am looking at options for my dd for next year. It will officially be her "preschool" year but she will turn five early in the year - November. Academically she is advanced, and very bright. She picks up everything by osmosis, and knows most of her letter sounds, how to count to 20, shapes, colors, all basic preschool knowledge sets, etc. She has a very wide vocabulary and uses words correctly.
My son was similar at her age but his motor skills were much better. Her fine motor skills are slower, but I don't know if they are slow for her age. Right now she is doing mazes fantastically. She cuts great with scissors. But then when she tries to draw or write her lines are very light and shaky. Her drawings are just now taking shape to look like anything. Of course we are not starting with the new program we choose (whatever it may be) until next August. So that gives her 6 months to improve motor skills. We are working on play-doh, and tracing and such.
If you were in my position would you give MFW K a try, or just do something else more preschool-y that doesn't really require writing?
I started MFWK with my dd a few months before she turned 5yo. She was already reading well and adding and had a strong desire to be schooled. Even with her reading skills, we had to go very slowly at first. And I do mean slowly. The great thing about MFWK is that the units are six days, and if that means two 3-day weeks for you to complete a unit, it works! After her 5th birthday, the switch flipped and we could pick up the pace, and 2 months after that, her writing was so dramatically improved that it's comical to compare. She is in the middle of MFW1 now, and the same thing has happened with her drawing skills.
So, I think you can start this fall if you want to and she's ready. Just be prepared to take things slow and treat it like "preschool" if you have to. It is a rich, rich program that you will really enjoy. I do wish, though, that I waited until after my dd's mid-year birthday to start the curriculum, and continued with "preschool stuff" until after she turned 5.
Clear as mud? (sorry) But you can't go wrong with choosing MFWK - it is amazing.
